Built by the community for the community. A unique ongoing acceleration program leveraging the network of fintech founders and operators from CEE - those with real, battle-tested experience from the fintech industry. Topped by 90+ business professionals.
We are building the best acceleration program for exceptional technology founders from CEE, building pan-European or global fintech companies as part of the biggest transformation of the financial industry yet, driven by GenAI, Blockchain and DLTs and Quantum Computing & cyber-security.
Prepared to thrive in the highly regulated industry by default by including financial industry stakeholders and regulators in the program
All of that is powered by Mastercard, one of the biggest and most innovative financial infrastructure companies; DEPO Ventures, one of the most active fintech-focused VCs in CEE; and StartupYard, the best CEE acceleration program serving technology founders for more than 14 years.
